Dance competition draws stars for celebration
The 2012 Prix de Lausanne international ballet competition culminates on February 5 with a gala to mark its 40th anniversary and celebrate a bright future.

Article originally published by www.swissinfo.ch on 2 February 2012
One week a year, Lausanne becomes the dance capital of the world as 15 to 18 year-olds from ballet schools on all continents flock to Lausanne to take part in the competition.
Major artists coach, inspire and appraise them. And for dance lovers who cannot make it to Lausanne, the web takes the Prix to them.
In celebration of its 40th anniversary, the weeklong competition that ends on February 4 will be followed by a gala performance with 25 international ballet stars, most of them past laureates of the Prix. Amongst the big names are Laëtitia Pujol (Danseuse Etoile of the Paris Opera Ballet), Friedemann Vogel (Principal Dancer Stuttgart Ballet), Federico Bonelli (Principal of The Royal Ballet, London) and Mizuka Ueno (Principal Dancer of the Tokyo Ballet).
"It's going to be absolutely breath-taking," promised Beth Krasna, president of the board.
As the Prix de Lausanne enters its fifth decade, Krasna explained the innovations that keep it one step ahead of its time and why it stands out from other competitions.
To begin with, the Prix is not just a contest. "It is a life-changing experience for all participants, not only those who go on to the finals," she underlined. "In most competitions, candidates leave as soon as they are eliminated, but we offer a full week of coaching and networking, regardless. "
This year, 75 participants are competing, 20 will be selected for the final and eight of the finalists will receive the scholarships of their choice, including the laureate.
$A visionary enterprise
When Philippe Braunschweig, the heir and manager of a Swiss watchmaking company started the Prix de Lausanne in 1972 with Elvire, his Russian ballerina wife and Rosella Hightower, the legendary American dancer, they were joined by Maurice Béjart in Brussels and the Royal Ballet in London.
"The founders had a very powerful vision," Krasna said. The mission of the Prix, that has remained unchanged, is to find "young talent for the dance world of tomorrow". But it also acts as a springboard to gifted young dancers who might otherwise not come in contact with renowned dance companies. It now includes contemporary dance as well as ballet.
Over the years, the number of international partner schools and dance companies has blossomed to respectively 21 and 29, adding an aura of prestige and credibility to the event.
The Braunschweigs remained at the Prix's helm for 25 years, until they passed the reins in 1997 to executive and artistic committees. To head the organisation, they appointed Patricia Leroy, who is largely credited with the innovations that have allowed the Prix to stay in the lead.
Education and health
A notable accomplishment is that the influence of the Prix de Lausanne now extends well beyond the annual gathering. It aims to give dancers, whose dancing careers are usually over by the age of 35 or 40, the life skills that will help them in their later lives.
"The philosophy of the Prix is totally holistic," Krasna said, with a strong emphasis placed on education and health.
The young participants are made to understand that dance isn't everything. "We want kids to finish their high school," she said, even when they secure a place away from their homeland. When language is an issue, which is often the case, "correspondence courses are arranged under some kind of supervision".
"We also believe that health is very important, so we screen the kids for health issues," Krasna said.
The well-known problem of "excessive leanness" in the dancing profession, a disguised term for anorexia, is never ignored. Nor is the risk of osteoporosis, a bone density deficiency that often strikes dancers who did not acquire the nutritional habits needed for a physically demanding profession.
Amanda Bennett, the recently appointed artistic director, suggests that the profession as a whole – not just the individuals – benefits when the physical, emotional and mental well-being of dancers is taken into consideration, especially where there is such ethnic and cultural diversity.
"Dancers are very international," she said, "since their art transcends all language barriers."
Innovative strategies
Contributing to the huge following of the Prix is the digital strategy implemented by Jean-Paul Dinh, referred to affectionately by his colleagues as the "web guru". Videos uploaded to YouTube, including a Christmas advent calendar prepared by a professional team, have been watched more than six million times.
"We try to broadcast our message, but also the emotion of dance and the spirit of the Prix de Lausanne through social media," Dinh explained. All current platforms are used and live streaming takes place during the event.
"It's incredible," enthused the board president, "because during the competition, our website is in the top world one hundred, ahead of Davos and the Vatican!"

At ground level, a riotously funny guerrilla publicity campaign took place in October 2011: iconic statues throughout Lausanne were dressed in blue tutus during the night to announce the 40th anniversary. They were made to be removed the next day.
Leading up to the competitions, spectacular large-scale photographs of the participants in the previous editions line a high-flying bridge in Lausanne, giving the impression that they are leaping over the railings.
Dance capital
Ever since Serge Diaghilev (Ballets Russes) and Vaslav Nijinski came to Lausanne early last century and Russian-French dancer Serge Lifar settled there, the city has acquired a reputation and following for dance.
A Dance Book publicises the many celebratory events this year, including the Béjart Ballet anniversary, attracted to Lausanne 25 years ago by the Braunschweigs.
"The Prix de Lausanne was such a huge steppingstone in my career. It opened so many doors," declared Steven MacRae, the 2003 laureate who is now Principal with the Royal Ballet in London.
"Follow your dreams and dance with your heart," advised 2010 winner, Emanuel Amuchástegui.

Q: HTML button to force reload (not using cache) of a static HTML page I've tried several methods, especially all listed here:

*

*Button that refreshes the page on click

*Force page reload with html anchors (#) - HTML & JS
...but they all seem to only trigger a reload using local cache.
Is there any way to trigger a forced reload, bypassing any cache (especially for images) via an HTML button?
Alternatively, is there a line of HTML code that would force the page to not use cache at all?
The page is a simple static html page that changes a few times a day.

A: There is no HTML-only way to do it.
You could try using window.location.reload(true) which will try to reload the current page and ignore cache files on some browsers. But this is not part of the specification and won't work on most browser (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location/reload)

The real way to make it is to version your filenames ! There are many tools to do it quite easily. When the page will refresh, as the name will have changed, your browser is going to load the new file and you won't have cache problem anymore

A: I'm pretty sure it's not possible to force reload (+ clear cache) in HTML itself.
One solution is to make a button and give that a JS function, in which both the cache is cleared and the page reloaded.
function reloadClear() {
  window.localStorage.clear();
  window.location.reload(true);
  return false;
}

A: just remove localstorage saved files use window.localstorage.remove('name of the item you saved')
or if you didnt what all of them just use window.localstorage.clear() then reload it with window.location.reload(true)

TODDLER SHOT in Baltimore road rage incident
A toddler is hospitalized but expected to survive after he was shot in a road rage incident in Baltimore over the weekend.
Javon Johnson, 33, has been charged with attempted murder, assault and various handgun related charges, Baltimore police said, according to WJZ.
Police Commissioner Michael Harrison told the Baltimore Sun that investigators believe the incident started at a traffic light in West Baltimore shortly after midnight Saturday morning. The 2-year-old boy was riding in a car behind several other cars at red light.
ow do you protect your children from predators? Join Nancy Grace and a team of world-class experts for the online course 'Justice Nation: Crime Stops Here'.
When the light changed to green, no one moved through the light. The driver of the car the boy was in honked the horn several times, and when the cars ahead remained still, the driver drove around the other vehicles still stopped at the light.
Investigators believe that the driver of the first car at the light "followed and caught up to the victim's vehicle, and then fired from his vehicle into the victim's vehicle, striking the child," Harrison said.
Harrison said police had been initially alerted to shots fired by the city's ShotSpotter system, which pinpoints the sound of gunfire, but found nothing when they arrived. Later, they were alerted to a hospital where the child was being treated.
The Sun said that online court records show several charges in Johnson's past.

Finding the reasoning for your low Google rankings can be frustrating and feel impossible to figure out. However, often times the mystery can be solved by going through a check list of the most common causes for problems with Google rankings. By taking a little bit of time to double check all of these, you'll likely find at least one or two things to fix that could really help boost your local rankings. Before we get started, keep in mind your local rankings are local to where you are searching. You will see different results in different areas. For instance, if you are in Andover, Kansas, you'll likely see different results for a search than you would in Wichita, Kansas. It's also a good idea to make sure Google hasn't made changes that could have affected your rankings. Check out sites such as https://moz.com/google-algorithm-change to stay updated with Google's latest changes. Sometimes, if Google recently did an update, it's just a matter of waiting it out to see if an update to fix bugs will follow.
Local address – if your business has a local address that isn't a PO Box or a home address, and you have face-to-face contact with customers, you're eligible for a Google My Business listing! Be sure your business is listed!
Check your cities. For instance, if your business is a bakery with a street address in El Dorado, Kansas, you shouldn't expect it to be a top result in the searched phrase, "cakes Wichita, KS".
Businesses without a physical address don't typically rank for searched queries that relate to your locale.
It's also a good idea to revisit the guidelines for representing yourself on Google: https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en. We recommend you familiarize yourself with these guidelines so you can quickly spot violations.
Ranking strengths are notorious for being divided when duplicate listings are present. If there is more than one verified listing for a single entity, you can expect to rank lower. You can easily plug the info into this Moz Check Listing tool https://moz.com/local/search to see. If you do come across more than one listing, simply ask Google to merge the listings. This tool also serves as a great tool when it comes to checking for accuracy. After plugging in your info, check to make sure it doesn't tell you something is missing or inaccurate with your listing.
You can always check your Google My Business listing to reevaluate everything. Ensure your hours of operation are accurate, map markers are correct, reviews are good and responses are being made. It might benefit you to explore the optional URLs by Google, such as menus, reservations, and bookings. Check and see if there are any URL options your business model supports.
Finding the solution to your problem can take some serious investigation work, but if you bookmark our handy list of ideas, you're likely to figure it out in no time. Make it a habit to keep tabs on everything on a regular basis, and you'll be sure to see results!

It's easy to adopt a more of the same approach, retaining the team that delivers the greatest success. It seems like a no-brainer; if the business is doing well, then why change a winning team? That would be the easy option, but also the one which would bring success for a limited period.
Inevitably the market will change; there will be more automation around mundane tasks, creating a more efficient workforce. You only have to open a publication to see the radical technology transformations disrupting the workplace, and these won't cease.
Changing what already works is about planning for the future – one in which markets and job functions are ever-evolving. As nostalgic as it would be to keep the England football team of '66 or the rugby squad of '03, we'd fail if we continued to use the same formula.
Over the past few months I immersed myself in our ARM brand to make the necessary changes and upgrades. We have a great foundation at ARM. We're thriving in our sectors, we have a solid 20 year reputation, and we have a strong business; but now is not the time to sit back and reap the rewards. It's time for the next leap.
This isn't about creating a business that's successful now, it's about being flexible, agile and resilient. This forward-planning begins with the people, and the delivery teams who dedicate their working lives to continuous improvement.
Innovation and experimentation starts from a grassroots level in a business, but leadership comes from the top, making sure everyone has what they need to be successful. Great leadership is about setting the direction of travel and the framework in which to innovate. Our new structure is about making sure that we empower our staff, set them on the right course and support them to achieve their goals.
As a result we changed-up our teams, bringing in valuable expertise from other areas of the business. We moved away from the traditional separation of specialist markets and corporate services. Instead, the business will focus on its industry divisions: Advanced Technology (cyber, fintech) and IT and Engineering.The appointment of Simon Vaughan-Edwards as Managing Director of the newly-created Advanced Technology division brings fresh eyes to the company. Simon is a highly-experienced executive recruiter, heading up high-end agency Hawker Chase - also part of the Serocor family - and as an ex-officer in the armed forces, Simon is well-equipped to operate in a changing environment.
Leon Howgill, a much-respected member of the ARM team, is promoted to Managing Director, focusing on the IT and Engineering division of the business. Leon's an inspirational leader and the ideal person to steer his division through market transformation, having been with the business for 16 years.
These changes at the top are supplemented by better analytical technology and a bolstered marketing function to support consultants with sourcing the best candidates, and bringing more of our audience to the website.
These enhancements within the leadership of the business will help inspire our people, giving them the tools they need to succeed, and galvanize ARM's reputation. We are using data analytics to predict performance, combining these with advanced technologies to increase our effectiveness. This allows us to focus on what's important - building valuable relationships and placing quality candidates. Our message 'making successful people' applies internally – by pushing forwards and not simply sticking to what has always worked, we create a long-term, growing ARM.


Interior alterations to this two bedroom maisonette in the heart of Shoreditch included a comprehensive bespoke joinery package, with new fixtures, fittings and finishes throughout.
The studio Eckford Chong knew that the house is tall with a tight footprint and as such the rooms benefit from a consistent yet simple selection of just two main material finishes.
Upon entry, ash faced ply cabinetry in the kitchen compliments the hand crafted concrete worktops. White goods are integrated to establish a language of uncomplicated calm.
Bespoke shelving and storage made the best use of the living space, continuing the timber and neutral colour scheme. These two main entry level spaces were then tied together with a consistent singular oak parquet floor leading to a stair carpet, the colour of which was chosen to match the concrete of the kitchen.
In the bathroom, water jet cut concrete effect ceramic wall cladding and large format concrete grey ceramic tiles carried the established colourway to the upper floor. They have installed a Turin washbasin there.
In the bedrooms, cast concrete structural elements were revealed and celebrated by stripping back the finishes which completed a simple two tone, neutral language of timber and concrete.

Paris Air Show 2019: MBDA's vision of the next generation of European air combat system
© MBDA
17/06/2019 19:06 | Alexandre Rocchi 283 mots
MBDA presents its vision of future air systems at the Paris Air Show 2019.
This year, the Paris Air Show started with MBDA unveiling capabilities of its future air systems. The company, expert in designing and producing missiles and missile systems, brings to the airspace market its experience to respond to the issue presented by a system used as access denial strategies and which combines surface-to-air and air-to-air.
Realizing the stakes of future air combat, MBDA has developed projects of aircraft and air effectors to enter denied areas, and deal with threats encountered on those areas.
To do so, MBDA offers multiple solutions such as:
Deep Strike with cruise missiles able to penetrate A2AD (Anti Access Area Denial).
Tactical Strike with stand-off, networked and compact armaments.
Air-to-Air Combat with active radar guided beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile such as Meteor.
Self-Protection with the "Hard Kill" anti-missile system which operates during 'stand-in' combat, when soft-kill counter-measures and decoys are no longer sufficient.
Enablers for the penetration of adversary defences with the "Remote Carriers" that deliver multiple effects, whether lethal or non-lethal, as well as new services for ammunition such as intelligence, targeting, and deception of enemy sensors. The Remote Carriers can operate with other armaments and platforms, and can be launched from combat or transport aircraft, or surface ships and can work as capability extenders for the platforms and the armaments.
With its array of products, MBDA shows the survivability strategies that can be deployed when networked effectors seem to become an essential part in the combat "cloud", by exchanging tactical information and target co-ordinates in real-time with platforms and other network nodes. These effectors will rely on resilience to respond to any form of aggression (eg: Electronic Warfare, Cyber) as well as on rapid decision aids able to compute complex situations.

As Vicki Medlyn's daughter was graduating from high school and going off to Wittenberg University, she decided it was time to downsize. Their house, in the eastern part of Bay Village, sold more quickly than she expected. "I had wanted to build a free standing home in someplace like Medina," she says. In the meantime, she rented an apartment in the far west end of Avon Lake for a year. That proved to be fortuitous because she found that she was too far from friends and did not like the longer commute to downtown. Medina was out.
"It is fantastic going from suburban to more urban," says Vicki. "The best part of living at RiverSouth is the location. It is stunning to me how easy it is to get everywhere!" Vicki says she is closer to Westgate, Heinen's, her gym and the other amenities of Rocky River than she was before. She even rides her bike to work sometimes. Vicki is an accountant at a major law firm in downtown Cleveland. She is an avid traveler, and now she can turn the key and go!
With regard to her daughter, Vicki says that at first she wasn't happy about her bedroom being smaller than in their old home, but the closet and bathroom made up for it. "It's really nice to have everything modern and brand new," she says. "We love it." Her daughter likes the proximity to Kamm's Corners where she and her friends meet up. Vicki adds that their rooftop has become a popular spot for her daughter's friends to come hang out. Both mother and daughter also enjoy being right next to the Metroparks.

'Transaction broker' agreement vindicates real estate company
Law of the Land
by Tara-Nicholle Nelson |
In 2004, Hall Realty signed a transaction broker's agreement to list and sell the Lake Forest Resort, a 12-unit RV park in Colorado owned by Daniel W. Weddel, which comprised six cabins, a home, a grocery store and an office area.
Hall Realty advertised the resort as a "turn-key business opportunity"; at the time, it was actually operating as an RV park. In 2005, Gilbert Barfield purchased the property.
In 2007, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment informed Barfield that the water supply system was improper for the property to operate as a 12-unit RV park. Around the same time, the CDPHE and the county reportedly notified Barfield that the sewage system did not have proper permits for the property to operate as it had been.
Additionally, according to court documents, the county informed Barfield that the property did not have the proper operating permits and ordered him to cease business operations.
Barfield filed suit against Hall Realty, alleging negligent misrepresentation (that Hall Realty was unreasonably negligent in determining the accuracy of its advertisement of the property as a "turn-key business opportunity"), fraudulent misrepresentation (on grounds that Hall Realty either knew the "turn-key" representation was false or was utterly indifferent as to its accuracy), and fraudulent concealment (arguing that Hall Realty either knew or was utterly indifferent to the fact that the seller had never obtained the proper permits, and failed to disclose this fact).
At trial, Hall Realty filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing that its role in the transaction was that of a transaction broker under Colorado Revised Statutes 2009 relating to brokerage relationships in real estate transactions.
As a transaction broker, rather than a fiduciary, Hall argued, its "duty ended by describing the opportunity as it appeared to be when listed: an (ongoing) 'turn-key' business opportunity," and it had no duty to investigate or verify anything beyond that.
The trial court agreed and dismissed Barfield's case.
Barfield appealed, and the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's ruling. First, the Court of Appeals rejected Barfield's argument that Hall Realty's description of the resort as a 'turn-key' business opportunity — without investigating further — constituted negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation.
To prove fraud, Barfield would have had to show that Hall Realty either knew that its representations in the property advertisements were false, or was aware that it didn't know whether the representations were true or false. Photographs submitted by Hall Realty to the trial court clearly showed that the resort was in active operation at the time of the listing.
Accordingly, ruled the Court of Appeals, "the evidence demonstrates that Hall Realty had no reason to believe that the resort was anything but an ongoing, operational RV park," rejecting the fraud claim.
Further, the court rejected Barfield's argument that Hall violated its duties as a transaction broker by failing to discover the permit issues with the property. On the contrary, found the Court of Appeals, state law expressly states that a transaction broker is not a fiduciary of the parties in the transaction, like a traditional real estate broker would be.
Additionally, a transaction broker, under the same act, is required to "disclose any adverse material facts actually known by the broker," but "is under no duty to conduct an independent inspection of the property for the benefit of the buyer … and has no duty to independently verify the accuracy or completeness of statements made by the seller."
Taken in conjunction, the court explained, the facts that the property was actually in active operations as a 12-unit RV park at the time of the listing, plus the act's "clear directive that a transaction broker has no duty to investigate," preclude Barfield from showing that Hall Realty's misrepresentations were either negligent or fraudulent. As a result, the trial court's ruling was affirmed and Barfield's case was dismissed.

In today's story we will explain the difference between JCN tokens and on-site tokens used within our fully operational 18+ ecosystem.
At this moment consumers can purchase their token packages through a series of payment methods. For example credit card and various online bank transfer methods.
The current on-site token/ewallet mechanism is custom made and runs in a centralized setup. In time we will replace this all with a private blockchain implementation.
For the JCN ICO we have registered a total supply of 100,000,000 JCN tokens where 45,000,000 JCN are available for the public to purchase during the ICO (till April 10, 2018).
All unsold and unrewarded JCN tokens will return in our reserve on the ICO completion date. No more JCN tokens are to be issued, other than distributed during ICO.
After the ICO Jizzcoins (JCN) will be enlisted on crypto exchanges where the public can trade in this new token.
Both the on-site and JCN tokens are utility tokens used inside (and later outside) our 18+ ecosystem.
The prices (on-site tokens) used within our 18+ ecosystem are always fixed (e.g. private show is 25 tokens which equals €2.5 per minute) where JCN tokens will be subjected to market price fluctuations once they are listed and available on crypto exchanges.
Within our 18+ ecosystem we will create features for our user groups to exchange JCN tokens into on-site tokens and visa versa.
Later we will create a dedicated JCN token exchange accessible for all our user groups.

The Electric Vehicle Era is Here
October 1, 2021 by Ryan Regan
solar electric vehicles, Tesla --
In what seems like the blink of an eye, the auto industry has embraced electrification in a big way as household names – beyond Tesla – make big investments in battery and related technological enhancements. If you are in the market for a car any time this decade, the overwhelming likelihood is that you will purchase an electrified vehicle. For those passionate about renewable energy, this is something of a seminal moment given that widespread adoption globally of electric vehicles represents perhaps the single biggest opportunity to reduce the effects of climate change.
Competition Heats Up
It wasn't too long ago that Tesla was considered to be the only reputable player in town on the electric vehicle manufacturing front. Technologically speaking, Tesla still maintains superior advantages over its competitors, but the electric vehicle market is still much more crowded today than it was just a handful of years ago. We don't hide from our pro-Tesla bias at Solar Tribune, but even we must recognize that the increased number of electric vehicle models with competitive price points is ultimately good for overall market development. Major electric vehicle pronouncements by auto companies in recent years include:
By 2035, General Motors plans to exclusively manufacture electric vehicles
Toyota unveiled their first all-electric vehicle offering in the U.S. market earlier this year. Toyota plans to expand to around 70 electrified vehicle offerings globally by 2025, including 15 fully electric vehicle options.
Ford plans to sell only fully electric vehicles in Europe by 2030.
Just about every other major global auto company from Honda to Audi to Volkswagen have announced similar "all-electric" commitments to be met within roughly the next 15 years. Electric vehicle start-ups Lucid Motors and Rivian, the latter of which recently beat Tesla and GM in producing the first all-electric pick-up truck, add further diversity of options to the electric vehicle marketplace.
Ford also made waves in the industry just days ago when they announced plans to invest $11.4B on new auto plants in Tennessee and Kentucky that will produce electric vehicles and the batteries that power them, that latter of which is an important goal as domestic auto players try to wean themselves off of foreign EV battery supply chains. Ford Executive Chair Bill Ford, fully understanding the significance of Ford's embrace of electrification, put the move in important context:
"With this investment and a spirit of innovation, we can achieve goals once thought mutually exclusive – protect our planet, build great EVs Americans will love and contribute to our nation's prosperity."
Electric Vehicles by the Numbers
Fully electric vehicles and their various hybrid variations continue to grow in popularity in the United States. Since 2010, over 4.1 million hybrid electric vehicles, 633,809 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and over 1 million fully electric vehicles have been sold domestically. The growth in fully electric vehicle sales has increased every single year since 2010. The 761,100 electrified vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2020 are a record, and it represents the fifth consecutive year of growth in EV sales in the United States.
Data Source: Bureau of Transportation Statistics
California accounts for 42% of all electric vehicle registrations in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. For perspective, electric vehicles registered in California exceed that of the total number registered in the next 14 states combined.
The Tesla Model 3 is by far and away the most popular electric vehicle sold in the United States. According to data from the Transportation Research Center at Argonne National Laboratory, sales of the Tesla Model 3 accounted for 47.4% of all electrified vehicle sales in 2019 covering 45 different vehicle models. Even though the electrified vehicle marketplace has become more crowded in recent years, it is clear that Tesla still dominates.
Data Source: Transportation Research Center at Argonne National Laboratory
Busting Common Myths
Despite the growing adoption rates of electrified vehicles, myths still linger. Here are some of the most common busted myths:
"Electric vehicles are only for rich people"
The escalating sales of EVs in the United States are quite directly tied to the improving price point of said vehicles. Numerous hybrid electric vehicles can be had for under $30,000. The same is true for several PHEV models, and while fully electric vehicles will be pricier than their aforementioned counterparts, many models still will keep the consumer in the low $30,000s range. And don't forget about the federal tax credit of up to $7,500 (varies based on EV battery size) that can further bring down the sticker price.
Purchase price aside, the lifetime costs of owning an ICE vehicle vs. the costs of owning an electric vehicle make the economics of electric vehicle ownership a complete no-brainer. According to analysis by ConsumerReports, owners of EVs can expect to save up to $1,000/year and $9,000 over the lifetime of a car in fuel costs alone when compared to an ICE vehicle (driven 200,000 miles). The absence of necessary fluid changes and other regular repair costs that come with the more complex ICE vehicle lead to even further savings for EV owners. The average dollar savings from reduced maintenance and repair costs over the lifetime of vehicle ownership amounts to $4,600.
"I'll save on gas costs, but those savings will be offset by increased electricity costs from home charging"
The math will vary based on multiple factors, but it is hard to imagine many scenarios in which regular overnight charging at your house will increase your monthly energy bill over what you would typically pay in monthly fuel costs for an ICE vehicle. The aforementioned ConsumerReports study noted that an EV driver will save an average of $800 to $1,000 a year on fueling costs over an equivalent gasoline-powered car.
"The range of electrified vehicles is too low for me to do any meaningful amount of driving."
Many of the most affordable fully electric vehicle models available on the market today offer a driving range of roughly 150 to 250 miles on a full charge. Slightly more expensive options like the various Tesla models easily clear the 300-mile mark. Most of the industry leading ranges for PHEVs will be closer to 40 miles, meaning that you can drive those vehicles in "electric" mode for about 40 miles before your car's internal combustion engine starts to kick in and use up gas. Such a range is going to be more than sufficient to cover the daily round trip commuting needs of most Americans.
The main Achilles Heel of electrified vehicles when it comes to driving range is that distance driving can get especially complicated given the relative dearth of charging stations in the U.S., especially compared to the more ubiquitous gas station. While this fact is indeed a challenge, there is nowhere to go but up from here. The building of the U.S. EV charging infrastructure is inevitable, and the growth will likely be exponential given the fact that almost all major auto makers are slamming the door on ICE vehicle production by the end of this decade. According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, the number of public EV charging stations in the U.S. grew by 245% from 2014 to 2020.
All Eyes on Congress
Even though electric vehicle sales in the U.S. continue to rise, the industry is still very much in the developmental stages. After all, EV sales in Q2 of 2021 amounted to just 3.6% of total vehicle sales according to McKinsey. Significant public investments to build out the national charging infrastructure and additional financial incentives to draw people to the EV market will be necessary as the industry seeks to become more mature.
All eyes are on our Capitol Hill these days as we follow the status of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. The bill has a number of provisions that specifically target the EV industry. The most prominent of which include:
$7.5B set aside for nationwide EV charging station investments
$7.5B to help school districts across the country replace diesel fuel engine school buses and ferries with low- and zero-emission replacements.
Democrats have also proposed in their $3.5B budget bill an increase in the EV tax credit to up to $12,500 for U.S.-made, union-made zero emissions vehicles, a meaningful increase from the $7,500 incentive that is currently in place for most other electric vehicles.
Lawmakers continue to hash out the details of the aforementioned pieces of legislation. What the final numbers look like for EV-impacted investments is anybody's guess right now. Regardless of what formally comes out of Capitol Hill, the momentum in the EV industry is unmistakable. Electrification commitments from major auto makers, tougher emissions standards at multiple levels of government, and state-level EV incentive programs will help to accelerate the EV revolution.
Industry analysts were claiming that 2020 would be the year of the electric car, but the Coronavirus pandemic and resulting downturn in the global economy had other plans. Nailing down the "year of the electric car" may be a fun parlor game, but it is clear that we are at something of an inflection point in the auto industry. The pace of change in the industry and the rate of electric vehicle adoption globally will only accelerate from here. Buckle up – it's going to be a heckuva ride.

Texas A&M professor fails entire class: Is this a millennials problem?
A Texas A&M professor failed his whole class following poor behavior on the part of his students. Are millennials entering college ready to meet expectations?
Video Screenshot
Professor Irwin Horowitz
By Alexander LaCasse Staff Writer
@AL3x_LaCasse
Texas A&M-Galveston Prof. Irwin Horwitz, has shaped many young minds in his 20 years of teaching at the university level.
But this semester Professor Horwitz found himself doing something he has never done in his two decades in higher education: Failing his entire Strategic Management class, according to KPRC-TV Channel 2 in Houston.
Horwitz cited students' incompetency as young adults getting ready to enter the real world in his email to the class where he announced that everyone would be receiving a failing grade.
"It became apparent that they couldn't do some of the most simple and basic things they should have been able to do," Horwitz told KPRC. "I was dealing with cheating, dealing with individuals swearing at me both in and out of class, it got to the point that the school had to put security guards at that class and another class."
But the university has not backed up Horwitz. Vice President of Academic Affairs Patrick Louchouarn made it clear that as much as the administration respects Horwitz, the professor did not have the authority to assign failing grades while the semester was still in session. The department head will take over the class until the end of the semester.
"None of them have failed until the end of the class, meaning the only reason a student would fail is because he or she has not performed the expectations for that particular class," Dr. Louchouran told KPRC.
Horwitz's students did not take the message from their former professor lightly.
"Just ridiculous, I had never had a problem in the class," senior John Shaw told KPRC. "I thought I had done pretty well, on the first test and then I get an email saying I am going to get an F in the class, it was overwhelming,"
This episode may reflect the struggle some college-bound millennials face.
Politico reports that five years after the Common Core educational curriculum went into effect, higher education has not adapted its standards and practices to be conducive to allowing a smooth transition from high school to college mainly because there is no one-size-fits all definition for "college ready."
As states dragged their heels in rolling out education standards, some millennials have arrived on college campuses lacking the ability to engage in close reading, critical thinking, and deconstructing of math problems.
"It's going to be a while before we see a significant change in the preparation level of student, Jacqueline King, director of Higher Education Collaboration for the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, told Politico. "That would really require that higher education adjust their introductory courses,"
According to Texas A&M Galveston's own accountability report, the university's four-year graduation rate was roughly 30 percent in the the 2014 fiscal year. This figure increased to north of 50 and north of 60 percent for five and six-year graduations respectively. It should be noted that the university calculates one-time students who transferred and obtained degrees at another college in their statistics. There were 498 freshman enrolled at the start of the 2014 academic year, according to Peterson's, a college information database.
According to Professor Horwitz, his students' lack of maturity and disregard for authority were an indication they were not ready to enter the workforce, and there is some research to suggest that may be a problem among millennials generally.

A survey of business people, corporate recruiters, and academics conducted by Bentley University titled "Millennials in the workplace," revealed that nearly two-thirds people in these positions thought that job preparedness among millennials was a problem. They held the opinion that millennials should receive a "C" or worse on their preparation for their first job, according to the findings.
"The recession did substantial damage to the US labor market, including for young college graduates, and we still have a ways to go before things are back to where they should be," Gloria Larson, president of Bentley University, told the Financial Times. "At the same time, employers in the US have been expressing concerns about a skills gap."

The Vial of Life Program provides emergency responders with a crucial information that will speak for you if you are unable to communicate.
Why do I need the Vial of Life?
Emergencies are unplanned events. The key element in maximizing your contact with medical personnel during an emergency is to be prepared. Part of being prepared in an emergency is to assure that your medical history, including medications, illnesses and allergies to medications are readily available so emergency responders can treat your needs.
Follow the steps below to prepare your own Vial of Life. Fill out the Vial of Life form and contact the Fire Department to obtain your free Vial of Life decals and to find out more information on Vial of Life.
Fill out the information completely, making sure it is current and legible.
2. Fold and roll the completed form and place it in the plastic vial.
DNR (Do Not Resuscitate), EKG, living will or equivalent, and/or recent photo of yourself.
3. Place the vial containing your medical information on the top shelf of your refrigerator door.
4. Place the Vial of Life sticker on the door of your refrigerator.
Place the sticker at about the same location as the Vial inside.
5. Place another Vial of Life sticker on your front door.
Place the decal so it can be easily seen by anyone responding to an emergency.

Q: Responsively Resize Kendo Chart (Typescript, Angular) My intention is to responsively resize a chart in Kendo UI. At the moment, I am testing out the functionality so I wrapped it in an ng-click function.
public Click(): void {

    if (typeof this.$scope.overviewPiechart !== 'undefined')
        this.$scope.overviewPiechart.refresh();
}

I placed the size information in the k-chart-area directive in the HTML:
k-chart-area="{height: {{ KC_PO_PCS.GetChartHeight() }}, width: {{ KC_PO_PCS.GetChartWidth() }}}"

The intended output is that the chart will resize to fill the page, but the actual output is that the chart blinks, and then reloads while maintaining the same size.
I have also tried overviewPiechart.redraw()
How can I make it so that my chart gets resized?

A: Moved from comments seeing as how it did work for you:
Isn't the correct call resize? http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/kendo#methods-resize

The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) is planning to revamp its local level units and make social interventions in Kerala to arrest the erosion of base of the party among different sections in society and gain ground among minorities.
The party will also conduct ideological campaigns to resist campaigns of fundamentalist groups.
Explaining the strategy, CPM state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan said the party state conference which ended on Friday has finalised an action plan to make lower level committees vibrant and make effective interaction with party sympathisers on different issues.
The functioning of lower level committees will be directly monitored by district level committees and regular interactions with party workers and sympathisers will be held at the lower and middle committee level to clear their doubts about party policies.
Vijayan said the party would organise meetings of professionals "who are party sympathisers" but get distanced from party because of their busy schedule. The CPM would fight for the rights of migrant workers in Kerala who were being exploited.
On CPM's influence among minorities, he agreed the party "does not have the same level of influence among" minorities compared to its popularity among majority community members. The party has finalised a strategy to gain popularity among minorities which will focus on taking up the problems of poor sections among minorities.
Vijayan said the conference took note that fundamentalist groups were gaining influence among Keralites and superstitions and other social injustices were making a return. Caste and religious groups are running aggressive campaigns and a deliberate effort was being made to decrease the influence of CPM among scheduled castes in Kerala, he said.
Some retired government officials were leading groups with extremist ideology among scheduled castes. Vijayan said the CPM would strengthen its activities among SC communities in Kerala. The party would begin a massive campaign in the state to resist obsolete ideologies making a return.
He added that the campaign would also focus on the need for making the public aware of the dangers of increased use of liquor.


Recently, I've been commenting to anyone who'll listen (or not) that short-term comparisons of global temperature trends are not very meaningful and that at least the last 20 years should be analyzed. This was based on the seemingly paradoxical observation that, while trends from 2001 to present are down or flat, long term trends increased during the same period.
Finally someone (Lucia of Blackboard fame) has listened. Unfortunately, she has compared 20-year observed trends to a model subset that has an unrealistically high projected trend.
Lucia's graphs have the model trend rising as high as 0.28 deg C per decade, whereas the commonly accepted IPCC benchmark projection is 0.2 deg C per decade for the current decade.
[Update/correction (April 20): Lucia has pointed out that the period for the IPCC 0.2C projection is not the same as the 20-year trends. In fact the trend rose through the period, if calculated directly from the model ensembles. However, there are numerous issues with using the detailed model trends for this purpose. In any event, I had already decided to perform a trend analysis based on a comparison of the post-baseline period to the baseline, as seen in the immediately subsequent post.
Meanwhile, I'm still pondering the correct values for the IPCC 20-year trend. According to Lucia's calculations, it climbed from 0.16C/decade in 2000 to 0.24C/decade at present for the A1B scenario. This is hard to square with the stated projection of about 0.2 deg C for the 2000-2008 period relative to the baseline, and points to possible noisiness in the model realization that should be smoothed out. In colloquial terms, the model noise appears to have "zigged" where the observations noise "zagged". In addition to the "averaging" approach mentioned above, other ways to handle this include using even longer trend periods or different forms of smoothing for both observations and models.
This entry was posted in Climate science and tagged Blackboard, global temperature, HadCRUT, Lucia, Model, NASA, NOAA. Bookmark the permalink.
As I said in my post, I compared to the trend computed from runs downloaded from The Climate Explorer, using only those that include volcanic eruptions. I used this because Pinatubo erupted in 1991 and El Chicon erupted in 1982. Both affect the multi-model trend. For this reason, if you download the runs and compute the 20 year multimodel trend both exceed 2C/century currently.
I could of course compare the 20 year trend to the "about 2C/century" which is an average over a period quite a bit longer than 20 years. But I prefer to compare 20 year trends to 20 year trends.
For what it's worth, when I did compare the current data to the 2C/century finding the current trend are inconsistent with the "standard" 2C/century, "people" complained that it was unfair to compare trends to the commonly used 2C/century– I should download the models and use the specific current values since those vary over time.
[DC: 0.2C/decade is the projected IPCC temperature rise only for the earliest part of this century. Even by 2030, the scenarios diverge slightly. The total century rise is 2.65 C under A1B and 3.13 C under A2.
Lucia is disengenous. I have seen her evade and obfuscate in the past. When she is in the wrong, she refuses to be pinned down. JohnV got pretty disgusted with her. It is a shame since she is moderately smart.
She is also an eefil acrylic knitter.

Beatrice Olive Walke
Belmont, Port of Spain, Trinidad
St. James, Port of Spain, Trinidad
Musician, music instructor, politician
Founding La Petite Musicale
Notable work
"Every Time Ah Pass" and "Mangos"
Olive Walke, MBE (21 December 1911 – 10 September 1969) was a Trinidadian musician and ethnomusicologist who was one of the first to collect regional Caribbean folk songs. She founded the well-known choir, La Petite Musicale and directed it for many years. Between 1961 and 1966, she served as a Senator in the first Parliament of Trinidad and Tobago established after its independence.

Early life[edit]
Beatrice Olive Walke was born on 21 December 1911 in the Belmont neighborhood of Port of Spain, Trinidad, to Anella and Samuel Arthur Walke.[1][2] Walke was raised by her aunt and uncle, Edith and Simeon Hayes, from the age of 10.[3] She attended Tranquillity Girls School and the Intermediate Government School, before graduating from Bishop Anstey High School.[1]
Walke moved to London to continue her education, studying music at the Trinity College of Music. She met and married Frank Hercules, a Trinidadian student of law, who would become a noted writer,[3] in 1936 in Hampstead, London, England.[4] Graduating with her ATCL degree, Walke furthered her studies at the Royal Academy of Music and the couple had a son, John. She graduated with her licentiate and returned to Trinidad.[3] Hercules left London and immigrated to New York[5] and the couple divorced. Their son John was adopted by Walke's aunt and uncle, Edith and Simeon Hayes, and in later life, John Simon Anthony Hayes would become the first nephrologist in Trinidad and Tobago and founder of the Trinidad and Tobago Kidney Foundation.[3]
Walke began giving music lessons and hosting a weekly radio show, Musicians in the Making, which featured young musicians and gave them a platform to gain exposure.[3] In December 1939, she founded a choral group called "La Petite Musicale", originally as a seasonal choir which performed traditional Christmas carols. The group met in Walke's home, where they would rehearse and then, renting a bus, the choir sang carols at various homes in the community. Soon after the new year, the group began to focus on the traditional folk music of Trinidad and Tobago,[6] when Walke took members of the group to the rural areas of Trinidad and Tobago. They travelled to Blanchisseuse, Guaico Tamana, Sangre Grande and Scarborough on Tobago to learn local folk songs in rural parts of the island. Village people would teach the choir members the songs, tell them of the background of the songs and Walke would take notes. She then transcribed and arranged the songs as performance pieces.[3][7] She was one of the first to research and formally perform folk music in the Caribbean,[8][9] bringing focus to the importance of the genre, with its traditional Creole languages and instruments.[10]
Through La Petite Musicale, Walke brought rural Trinidadian music to the concert stage and earned national and international acclaim.[3][8] The group were the first to treat folk music as worthy of performance by a formal music ensemble[8] and they traveled widely. In 1958, they participated in a Caribbean-wide arts festival.[11] The following year, Walke was presented to Princess Margaret in recognition of her contributions in collecting the early history of folk music in the Caribbean and was awarded the Member of the Order of the British Empire.[3][12] In 1964, Walke took them to the World Folk Festival in Covington, Kentucky, and the CARIFTA Expo '69 in Grenada, as well as giving performances in Martinique and Saint Lucia.[11] Walke's work inspired others to form chapters of La Petite Musicale, like the one that formed in Toronto in 1969.[13]
In 1962, the year that Trinidad and Tobago gained independence from Britain, Walke was appointed as senator in the first Parliament of the new nation. She focused most of her attention in that body to improving education and advancing cultural development in the country. In 1969, the inaugural year of the Hummingbird Medal, Walke received the Gold Medal for her contributions of devoted service to the country.[3]
Death and legacy[edit]
Walke died on 10 September 1969 in St. James, Port of Spain, Trinidad, after a lengthy illness. Posthumously in 1970, her collection of traditional music, Folk Songs of Trinidad and Tobago, was published.[3] Her music is still performed in Trinidad. In 2003, Orville Wright paid homage to her as his mentor in a concert "Reid, Wright and be Happy", which also featured Ron Reid and David "Happy" Williams.[14] In 2007, Amadi Productions presented a concert, "Ambataila Women", which featured some of Walke's works, including her most popular songs, "Every Time Ah Pass" and "Mangos".[15] In celebration of the nation's 50th Independence Anniversary, Walke was one of the influential citizens selected by the Ministry of Education and author, Nassar Khan, to be included in the publication, Profiles of the Heroes, Pioneers and Role Models of Trinidad and Tobago.[16] The Toronto chapter of La Petite Musicale celebrated its 45th anniversary in 2014 with a concert performing pieces by Walke.[13] A trophy that bears her name is presented at the Trinidad and Tobago Music Festival annually.[3]

Tafelmusik warmly congratulates orchestra member Alison Mackay, who has been named the winner of the 2013 Betty Webster Award by Orchestras Canada. The award celebrates sustained contribution to Canadian orchestras, with a focus on leadership, volunteerism and education. Mackay's unique multidisciplinary and cross-cultural concert programs such as The Galileo Project and House of Dreams have opened doors around the world, and her festivals have explored Toronto's many artistic, architectural and cultural synergies. Mackay, who has played violone and double bass with Tafelmusik since 1979, was nominated by Music Director Jeanne Lamon of Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra, and Dr. John Percy, Professor Emeritus: Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Toronto.
"I'm overwhelmed to have been chosen for the 2013 Betty Webster Award and deeply touched to have been nominated by Jeanne Lamon and John Percy, who have both opened so many doors for me. The Orchestras Canada organization has made amazing contributions to our lives as orchestral musicians, and it is a great honour for me to have been recognized in this way," said Alison Mackay.

Q: How to update sources.list for Debian 4.0 Etch? I am trying to update my /etc/apt/sources.list on my VPS. As I run apt-get update I get all kinds of 404s not found, for example:
Failed to fetch http://debian.newdream.net/dists/etch/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://security.debian.org/dists/etch/updates/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found [IP: 149.20.20.6 80]
Failed to fetch http://www.ksplice.com/apt/dists/etch/ksplice/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404 Not Found

As I look into http://www.debian.org/releases/etch/, I don't see any information regarding archives. I am inside archive.debian.org, but I am a little confused as to how to follow it's instructions/modify the sources list. Here's the contents of the current list:
deb http://debian.di.newdream.net/ etch ndn
deb http://www.ksplice.com/apt etch ksplice
deb http://debian.newdream.net etch main non-free contrib
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ etch-backports main
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-volatile etch/volatile main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main
deb http://debian.dc-uoit.net/debian-multimedia/ etch main

From what I read on the archive README, I was thinking that the format would be something like this:
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-security dists/etch/updates/ main

Also, after commenting out most, if not all of the lines in the sources file, I still get the same errors. Is there a command that needs to be run to clear the cache?

A: Etch is now 2 releases beyond the end of life.  There is no security support, because it is not being supported.
For the main archive use a line like this.
deb http://archive.debian.org/debian etch main

You should be upgrading to lenny, and then squeeze.
The security updates, backports, multimedia and ksplice archives are probably gone.

A: man apt, man apt-cache, and man apt-get provide information  regarding package caching maintenance.
After updating the /etc/apt/sources.list file, bear in mind that package information is stored in various places, and that just running apt-get clean or apt-get autoclean will not clear out these fouled packages (you will continue to receive a 404 error for those packages not found). You will need to clear the package cache from:
   /var/lib/apt/lists/
      Storage area for state information for each package resource specified in
      sources.list(5) Configuration Item: Dir::State::Lists.

If you do ls /var/lib/apt/lists/ you'll see a list of the resources that are causing the 404s.. There might also be package information in /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/. You might need to remove (as in rm foo-bar) those packages that are causing the 404s. Be careful not to remove those that are working.
Then if you cd into /etc/apt you will notice sources.list.d. In my case I just ran sources.list.d/* and that removed all the broken packages (after verifying the contents of sources.list.d/*, of course).
You can run apt-get check, apt-get autoclean, and apt-get update in sequence afterwards and you should come out clean.
If you are in doubt about the naming convention for the packages in the list file, you can always do man sources.list.
